This task greatly appealed to me, since I've been casually studying lucid dreaming for a couple of years now. I came across the concept once when I found a beutifully designed flash website that had stories of lucid dreams and a brief description of what it was/how to do it.

Unfortunatly I never book marked the site, so I have no link to give as an example :(

However, last year for a school project I was able to study it again, and this time get credit for it. Yes.
During these studies I came across a "lucid dreamer", who would constintly have to check his digital watch in order to make sure he wasn't dreaming.


This little tid bit form the movie "waking life" explains sort of how digital clocks help in identifying dream life from real life:




By following some of the techniques he gave (i.e. reapeating to yourself every night before you go to sleep that you will have a lucid dream and keeping a detailed dream journal), I was able to have a lucid dream myself. I looked at a clock and realized the numbers were all wonky. And upon this realization, I decided I didn't want to be in the car I was dreaming myself in, but up in the sky. It was an amazing feeling being able to control your dreams like that, and unfortunatly it was interrupted by my mother giving me a wake up call...

::le sigh::



Anyways, for this task, I decided to follow the lucid dreamer's methods, and strap on a digital watch for a week. I've had the watch on for two day nows, and thus far no wonky numbers have appeared.

I'm hoping by repeating this task in my waking life, i will start doing it in my dream state, and be able to experience another lucid dream.
